Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
(two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid
shoes to desired position.

skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Retighten the hex jam nut and repeat all three tests

unit may pull to one side or the other.
SECTION 3: OPERATING YOUR SNOW THROWER
Know The Controls
Read this owner’s manual and safety rules before operating your snow thrower. Compare Figure 12 with your snow
thrower to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Maintain safety while learning
about the controls and operating the unit. Save this manual for future reference.

Drive Control/ Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle.
Squeeze down the traction control to engage the wheel
drive. Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so you
can operate the chute crank without interrupting the
snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged
simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can
release the auger control (on the left handle) and the
augers will remain engaged. Release the traction
control to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger
control must also be released).
